ASSEMBLY of BATCH BOWL PARTS
(FP40 & FP40C)
We will use the terms Work Bowl, Batch Bowl and Cutter Bowl interchangeably throughout this
instruction book. They mean the same thing.
• Clean and sanitize the motor base, and wash, rinse, and sanitize the bowl, cover, food pusher, food pusher
insert and processing tools prior to initial use.
• Place the base on a counter or table near a 3-prong electrical outlet. Position it so you look at the front of
the unit and can see the control paddles. Be certain that the cord is unplugged and the OFF switch paddle
has been pressed. Do not plug in the cord until the processor is completely assembled.
• Pick up the transparent work bowl, holding it in both hands with the handles at the 4 and 10 o’clock position.
• Place the bowl on the base, fitting its central tube over the motor shaft on the base and placing its handles
at the 4 and 10 o’clock positions.
• Press the bowl down so the lower rim fits around the circular platform. Turn the bowl counterclockwise
as far as it will go. It will lock into position with the tabs on the sides of the platform.
Read this if Assembling the Batch Bowl Parts to use S-Blade (Cutter Blade).
• Do not put any food in the bowl before assembling the S-Blade to the shaft.
• Pick up the metal blade, being careful to grasp the plastic hub. Do not touch the metal blades, as they are
very sharp.
• Place the S-Blade over the tip of the motor shaft, lining up the inside of the hub with the shaft. Press it
down firmly, rotating the center hub until the blade assembly is fully seated. It should easily drop into
place. Be sure it is pushed down as far as it will go. If it is not all the way down, it may become damaged.
Push only on the center section (plastic part); never touch the cutting blade as it is extremely sharp.
• Check to be sure the blade is all the way down by turning it back and forth while lightly pushing it down.
If properly installed and fully seated, the lower blade will be positioned just above the inside bottom of
the bowl.
• If processing food with the S-Blade, now is the time to add the food or liquid to the work bowl.
Read this if Assembling Batch Bowl Parts to use Accessory Discs in Batch Bowl.
• Do not put any food in the bowl before placing the accessory disc onto the shaft.
• Select the appropriate accessory disc: Grating disc, shredding disc, slicing disc, waved slicing disc, pulping
disc, or julienne/French fry disc.
• Each of these discs had a disc stem. The disc stem fits over the double flat in the food processor’s stainless
steel motor shaft. The stem will also fit inside either the clear plastic tube inside the bowl or the
continuous feed chute and slinger.
• After selecting the appropriate disc, pick up the disc, either using the finger holes on the disc surface,
or holding the disc firmly between both hands. Be careful not to grab the blades or scrape your hands
on the shredding / grating nodules.
• Carefully guide the center disc hub over the metal shaft so the double slots in the hub line up with the pin
in the shaft. Put the disc on top of the shaft and rotate until it drops down and into place. Be sure it is
pushed down as far as it will go. Push on the outside rim only; never touch the cutting blades. It should
easily drop into place, but if not, then gently rock back and forth until you feel the disc drop into place.
• The FP40 and FP40C food processors have a locking mechanism that will secure the discs in place while
the machine is running. Two locking pins on the shaft mesh with slots in the hub of the accessory disc and
hold it securely in place.
• When it is time to remove the accessory disc, rotate the disc counterclockwise as far as you can, and pick
the disc straight up. The rotation moves the pin out of the slot in the disc’s center hub.
Note: Do not put any food in the bowl before placing the accessory disc onto the shaft.
